IMO, he is definitely the Christians’ mascot. not only due to how much they support him, but also because he reflects the bigotry and ignorance they so deeply cherish.

As a frustrated Christian, I think I’d say it’s most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond “seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized.”

Christian, though…there’s a least a definition there (“follower of Christ”) that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.

the bible says Jesus told his fans that they can’t be his disciple unless they hate their family. also something about obeying their master. sounds very Trumpian to me. but then again, there are no “true” Scotsman, are there? 😜

“the bible says Jesus told his fans that they can’t be his disciple unless they hate their family”

No, it says you shouldn’t love your family more than Him. That doesn’t mean you have to hate your family

here’s the verse I’m referencing. nothing is said about loving them more than him. the word ‘love’ isn’t even used. can you please cite the verse where is says what you claim?

Luke 14:26 KJV — If any man come to me, and HATE not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
